¹Siis kogus Saalomon Iisraeli vanemad ja kõik suguharude peamehed, Iisraeli laste perekondade eestseisjad, kuningas Saalomoni juurde Jeruusalemma Issanda seaduselaegast Taaveti linnast, see on Siionist, üles tooma.

¹Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers’ households of the children of Israel, to king Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh out of the city of David, which is Zion.

²Ja kõik Iisraeli mehed kogunesid pühadeks kuningas Saalomoni juurde eetanimikuus, mis on seitsmes kuu.

²All the men of Israel assembled themselves to king Solomon at the feast, in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.

³Ja kui kõik Iisraeli vanemad olid tulnud, siis tõstsid preestrid laeka

³All the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.

⁴ja tõid üles Issanda laeka, kogudusetelgi ja kõik pühad riistad, mis telgis olid; preestrid ja leviidid tõid need üles.

⁴They brought up the ark of Yahweh, and the Tent of Meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent; even these the priests and the Levites brought up.

⁵Kuningas Saalomon oli laeka ees, ja koos temaga oli kogu Iisraeli kogudus, kes oli kogunenud tema juurde; nad ohverdasid nii palju lambaid, kitsi ja veiseid, et neid ei saadud lugeda ega kokku arvata.

⁵King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, who were assembled to him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and cattle, that could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.

⁶Ja preestrid tõid Issanda seaduselaeka selle paika koja tagaruumi, kõige pühamasse paika keerubite tiibade alla,

⁶The priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Yahweh to its place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim.

⁷sest keerubid laotasid oma tiivad laeka paiga üle; keerubid katsid laegast ja selle kandekange pealtpoolt.

⁷For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its poles above.

⁸Ja kangid olid nii pikad, et kangide otsi võis näha pühamust, kõige pühama paiga eest, ent neid ei nähtud väljast; ja need on seal tänapäevani.

⁸The poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the holy place before the oracle; but they were not seen outside: and there they are to this day.

⁹Laekas ei olnud muud kui need kaks kivilauda, mis Mooses oli Hoorebil sinna pannud, kui Issand tegi Iisraeli lastega lepingu nende tulles Egiptusemaalt.

⁹There was nothing in the ark except the two tables of stone which Moses put there at Horeb, when Yahweh made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.

¹⁰Ja kui preestrid pühamust väljusid, siis sündis, et pilv täitis Issanda koja

¹⁰It came to pass, when the priests had come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of Yahweh,

¹¹ja preestrid ei võinud jääda teenima pilve pärast: sest Issanda auhiilgus oli täitnud Issanda koja.

¹¹so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; for the glory of Yahweh filled the house of Yahweh.

¹²Siis kõneles Saalomon: 'Issand on öelnud, et ta tahab elada pimeduses.

¹²Then Solomon said, “Yahweh has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

¹³Mina olen sulle ehitanud valitsuskoja, su igavese eluaseme paiga.'

¹³I have surely built you a house of habitation, a place for you to dwell in forever.”

¹⁴Ja kuningas pööras oma palge ja õnnistas kogu Iisraeli kogudust, ja kogu Iisraeli kogudus seisis.

¹⁴The king turned his face about, and blessed all the assembly of Israel: and all the assembly of Israel stood.

¹⁵Ja ta ütles: 'Kiidetud olgu Issand, Iisraeli Jumal, kes oma käega on tõeks teinud, mida ta oma suuga on kõnelnud mu isale Taavetile, öeldes:

¹⁵He said, “Blessed is Yahweh, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David your father, and has with his hand fulfilled it, saying,

¹⁶Sellest päevast alates, kui ma tõin oma Iisraeli rahva ära Egiptusest, ei ole ma üheltki Iisraeli suguharult valinud ühtegi linna, kuhu ehitada koda, kus oleks mu nimi; aga ma valisin Taaveti, et ta valitseks mu Iisraeli rahva üle.

¹⁶‘Since the day that I brought my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house, that my name might be there; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.’

¹⁷Mu isal Taavetil oli küll südame peal ehitada koda Issanda, Iisraeli Jumala nimele,

¹⁷“Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.

¹⁸aga Issand ütles mu isale Taavetile: Et sul südame peal on ehitada mu nimele koda, siis oled sa hästi teinud, kui see sul südame peal on.

¹⁸But Yahweh said to David my father, ‘Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it was in your heart.

¹⁹Ometi ei ehita sina seda koda, vaid su poeg, kes su niudeist välja tuleb, ehitab mu nimele koja.

¹⁹Nevertheless, you shall not build the house; but your son who shall come forth out of your body, he shall build the house for my name.’

²⁰Issand on pidanud oma sõna, mis ta kõneles, ja mina olen tõusnud oma isa Taaveti asemele ja istun Iisraeli aujärjel, nõnda nagu Issand on kõnelnud, ja ma olen ehitanud koja Issanda, Iisraeli Jumala nimele.

²⁰Yahweh has established his word that he spoke; for I have risen up in the place of David my father, and I sit on the throne of Israel, as Yahweh promised, and have built the house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.

²¹Ja ma olen valmistanud paiga laekale, mille sees on Issanda leping, mille ta tegi meie vanematega, kui ta tõi nad ära Egiptusemaalt.'

²¹There I have set a place for the ark, in which is the covenant of Yahweh, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.”

²²Siis astus Saalomon Issanda altari ette kogu Iisraeli koguduse juuresolekul ja sirutas oma käed taeva poole

²²Solomon stood before the altar of Yahweh in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven;

²³ning ütles: 'Issand, Iisraeli Jumal! Sinu sarnast jumalat ei ole ülal taevas ega all maa peal: sina pead lepingut ja osadust oma sulastega, kes käivad su ees kõigest südamest,

²³and he said, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, there is no God like you, in heaven above, or on earth beneath; who keep covenant and loving kindness with your servants, who walk before you with all their heart;

²⁴sina oled pidanud oma sulasele, mu isale Taavetile, mis sa temale olid lubanud. Jah, mis sa oma suuga oled kõnelnud, selle oled sa oma käega tõeks teinud, nõnda nagu see täna on sündinud.

²⁴who have kept with your servant David my father that which you promised him. Yes, you spoke with your mouth, and have fulfilled it with your hand, as it is this day.

²⁵Ja nüüd, Issand, Iisraeli Jumal, pea oma sulasele, mu isale Taavetile, mis sa temale tõotasid, öeldes: Ei puudu sul minu palge ees mees, kes istub Iisraeli aujärjel, kui ainult su pojad peavad oma teed, käies mu ees, nõnda nagu sina oled käinud mu ees.

²⁵Now therefore, may Yahweh, the God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father that which you have promised him, saying, ‘There shall not fail you a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your children take heed to their way, to walk before me as you have walked before me.’

²⁶Ja nüüd, Iisraeli Jumal, saagu ometi tõeks su sõnad, mis sa oled kõnelnud oma sulasele, mu isale Taavetile!

²⁶“Now therefore, God of Israel, please let your word be verified, which you spoke to your servant David my father.

²⁷Aga kas Jumal tõesti peaks elama maa peal? Vaata, taevas ja taevaste taevas ei mahuta sind, veel vähem siis see koda, mille ma olen ehitanud.

²⁷But will God in very deed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens can’t contain you; how much less this house that I have built!

²⁸Aga pöördu oma sulase palve ja ta anumise poole, Issand, mu Jumal, et sa kuuleksid kaebehüüdu ja palvet, mida su sulane täna palvetab sinu ees,

²⁸Yet have respect for the prayer of your servant, and for his supplication, Yahweh my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which your servant prays before you this day;

²⁹et su silmad oleksid lahti ööd ja päevad selle koja kohal, selle paiga kohal, mille kohta sa oled öelnud: Seal peab olema minu nimi!, et sa kuuleksid palvet, mida su sulane palvetab selle paiga poole!

²⁹that your eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place of which you have said, ‘My name shall be there;’ to listen to the prayer which your servant shall pray toward this place.

³⁰Kuule siis oma sulase ja oma Iisraeli rahva anumist, kuidas nad palvetavad selle paiga poole! Jah, kuule paigast, kus sa elad - taevast! Ja kui sa kuuled, siis anna andeks!

³⁰Listen to the supplication of your servant, and of your people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place. Yes, hear in heaven, your dwelling place; and when you hear, forgive.

³¹Kui keegi oma ligimese vastu pattu teeb ja talle pannakse peale vanne teda vannutades, ja vandeasi tuleb sinu altari ette siia kotta,

³¹“If a man sins against his neighbor, and an oath is laid on him to cause him to swear, and he comes and swear before your altar in this house;

³²siis kuule sina taevast ja tee ning mõista õigust oma sulastele: mõista süüdlane süüdi, pane tema teod ta pea peale, õige aga mõista õigeks, anna temale ta õigust mööda!

³²then hear in heaven, and do, and judge your servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way on his own head, and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.

³³Ja kui su Iisraeli rahvas lüüakse maha vaenlase ees, sellepärast et nad sinu vastu on pattu teinud, ent nad pöörduvad tagasi su juurde ja kiidavad sinu nime, palvetavad su poole ja anuvad sind selles kojas,

³³“When your people Israel are struck down before the enemy, because they have sinned against you; if they turn again to you, and confess your name, and pray and make supplication to you in this house:

³⁴siis kuule sina taevast ja anna andeks oma Iisraeli rahva patt ja too nad tagasi maale, mille sa oled andnud nende vanematele!

³⁴then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and bring them again to the land which you gave to their fathers.

³⁵Kui taevas on suletud ja vihma ei ole, sellepärast et nad on sinu vastu pattu teinud, aga nad palvetavad selle paiga poole ja kiidavad sinu nime ja pöörduvad oma patust, sellepärast et sa neid oled alandanud,

³⁵“When the sky is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against you; if they pray toward this place, and confess your name, and turn from their sin, when you afflict them:

³⁶siis kuule sina taevast ja anna andeks oma sulaste ja oma Iisraeli rahva patt, sest sina õpetad neile head teed, mida nad peavad käima, ja anna vihma oma maale, mille sa oled andnud pärisosaks oma rahvale!

³⁶then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants, and of your people Israel, when you teach them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain on your land, which you have given to your people for an inheritance.

³⁷Kui maale tuleb nälg, kui tuleb katk, kui tulevad viljakõrvetus või -rooste, rohutirtsud ja mardikad, kui vaenlane teda rõhub ta maa väravais, kui tabab mingi nuhtlus või mingi haigus,

³⁷“If there is famine in the land, if there is pestilence, if there is blight, mildew, locust or caterpillar; if their enemy besieges them in the land of their cities; whatever plague, whatever sickness there is;

³⁸kui siis iganes palvetatakse või anutakse, olgu ükskõik missuguse inimese või kogu su Iisraeli rahva poolt, kui nad igaüks tunnevad oma südame häda ja sirutavad oma käed selle koja poole,

³⁸whatever prayer and supplication is made by any man, or by all your people Israel, who shall each know the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house:

³⁹siis kuule sina taevast, oma asupaigast, ja anna andeks ning tee nõnda, et sa annad igaühele tema tegusid mööda, nagu sa tunned tema südant, sest sina üksi tunned kõigi inimlaste südameid,

³⁹then hear in heaven, your dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart you know; (for you, even you only, know the hearts of all the children of men;)

⁴⁰et nad kardaksid sind kõigil neil päevil, mil nad elavad maal, mille sa oled andnud meie vanemaile!

⁴⁰that they may fear you all the days that they live in the land which you gave to our fathers.

⁴¹Aga ka võõramaalast, kes ei ole sinu Iisraeli rahva hulgast, tuleb aga kaugelt maalt sinu nime pärast

⁴¹“Moreover concerning the foreigner, who is not of your people Israel, when he shall come out of a far country for your name’s sake

⁴²- sest nad kuulevad sinu suurest nimest, sinu vägevast käest ja sinu väljasirutatud käsivarrest - ja ta tuleb ning palvetab selle koja poole,

⁴²(for they shall hear of your great name, and of your mighty hand, and of your outstretched arm); when he shall come and pray toward this house;

⁴³kuule sina taevast, oma asupaigast, ja tee kõike, mille pärast võõras sinu poole hüüab, et kõik maa rahvad õpiksid tundma sinu nime ja kardaksid sind, nõnda nagu su Iisraeli rahvas, ja et nad teaksid, et sinu nimi on pandud kojale, mille ma olen ehitanud!

⁴³hear in heaven, your dwelling place, and do according to all that the foreigner calls to you for; that all the peoples of the earth may know your name, to fear you, as do your people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by your name.

⁴⁴Kui su rahvas läheb sõtta oma vaenlase vastu, teekonnale, kuhu sa nad läkitad, ja nad palvetavad Issanda poole selle linna suunas, mille sina oled valinud, ja koja suunas, mille mina olen ehitanud su nimele,

⁴⁴“If your people go out to battle against their enemy, by whatever way you shall send them, and they pray to Yahweh toward the city which you have chosen, and toward the house which I have built for your name;

⁴⁵siis kuule taevast nende palvet ja anumist ja tee neile õigust!

⁴⁵then hear in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.

⁴⁶Kui nad sinu vastu pattu teevad - sest pole inimest, kes pattu ei tee - ja sina vihastad nende peale ning annad nad vaenlase kätte, nõnda et nad viiakse vangi vaenlase maale, kaugemale või lähemale,

⁴⁶If they sin against you (for there is no man who doesn’t sin), and you are angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive to the land of the enemy, far off or near;

⁴⁷aga kui nad siis seda südamesse võtavad maal, kuhu nad on vangi viidud, ja pöörduvad ning anuvad sind oma vangistusemaal, öeldes: Me oleme pattu teinud, oleme eksinud ja saanud süüdlasteks,

⁴⁷yet if they shall repent in the land where they are carried captive, and turn again, and make supplication to you in the land of those who carried them captive, saying, ‘We have sinned, and have done perversely; we have dealt wickedly;’

⁴⁸ja pöörduvad sinu poole kõigest oma südamest ja kõigest oma hingest nende vaenlaste maal, kes on nad vangi viinud, ja paluvad sind oma maa suunas, mille sa oled andnud nende vanematele, linna suunas, mille sina oled valinud, ja koja suunas, mille mina olen ehitanud sinu nimele,

⁴⁸if they return to you with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies, who carried them captive, and pray to you toward their land, which you gave to their fathers, the city which you have chosen, and the house which I have built for your name:

⁴⁹siis kuule taevast, oma asupaigast, nende palvet ja anumist, tee neile õigust

⁴⁹then hear their prayer and their supplication in heaven, your dwelling place, and maintain their cause;

⁵⁰ja anna oma rahvale andeks see, milles nad sinu vastu on pattu teinud, ja kõik nende vastuhakkamised, millega nad sulle on vastu hakanud, ja lase neil leida halastust oma vangiviijate ees, et need halastaksid nende peale!

⁵⁰and forgive your people who have sinned against you, and all their transgressions in which they have transgressed against you; and give them compassion before those who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them

⁵¹Sest nad on sinu rahvas ja sinu pärisosa, kelle sa tõid ära Egiptusest, rauasulatusahjust.

⁵¹(for they are your people, and your inheritance, which you brought out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron);

⁵²Olgu su silmad lahti su sulase anumise ja su Iisraeli rahva anumise poole, et sa neid kuuleksid kõiges, mille pärast nad sind hüüavad!

⁵²that your eyes may be open to the supplication of your servant, and to the supplication of your people Israel, to listen to them whenever they cry to you.

⁵³Sest sina oled nad eraldanud enesele pärisosaks kõigi maa rahvaste hulgast, nõnda nagu sa rääkisid oma sulase Moosese läbi, kui sa tõid meie vanemad ära Egiptusest, oh Issand Jumal!'

⁵³For you separated them from among all the peoples of the earth, to be your inheritance, as you spoke by Moses your servant, when you brought our fathers out of Egypt, Lord Yahweh.”

⁵⁴Ja kui Saalomon oli lõpetanud palvetamise Issanda poole, kõik need palved ja anumised, siis ta tõusis üles Issanda altari eest, kus ta oli põlvitanud, käed sirutatud taeva poole,

⁵⁴It was so, that when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication to Yahweh, he arose from before the altar of Yahweh, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread forth toward heaven.

⁵⁵ja astus ette ning õnnistas kogu Iisraeli kogudust, öeldes valju häälega:

⁵⁵He stood, and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a loud voice, saying,

⁵⁶'Kiidetud olgu Issand, kes on andnud rahu oma Iisraeli rahvale, nõnda nagu ta on öelnud! Ainsatki sõna ei ole langenud tühja kõigist ta headest sõnadest, mis ta oma sulase Moosese läbi on rääkinud.

⁵⁶“Blessed be Yahweh, who has given rest to his people Israel, according to all that he promised. There has not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by Moses his servant.

⁵⁷Olgu Issand, meie Jumal, meiega, nõnda nagu ta on olnud meie vanematega; tema ärgu jätku meid maha ja ärgu loobugu meist,

⁵⁷May Yahweh our God be with us, as he was with our fathers. Let him not leave us, nor forsake us;

⁵⁸vaid ta pööraku meie südamed enese poole, et käiksime kõigil ta teedel ja peaksime ta käske, määrusi ja seadlusi, nagu ta meie vanemaid on käskinud!

⁵⁸that he may incline our hearts to him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his ordinances, which he commanded our fathers.

⁵⁹Ja olgu need minu sõnad, millega ma olen anunud Issanda ees, Issanda, meie Jumala juures päevad ja ööd, et ta teeks õigust oma sulasele ja oma Iisraeli rahvale, nagu iga päev on tarvis,

⁵⁹Let these my words, with which I have made supplication before Yahweh, be near to Yahweh our God day and night, that he may maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel, as every day shall require;

⁶⁰nõnda et kõik maa rahvad saaksid teada, et Issand on Jumal, aga mitte keegi teine!

⁶⁰that all the peoples of the earth may know that Yahweh, he is God. There is none else.

⁶¹Ja teie süda olgu siiras Issanda, meie Jumala vastu, et te käiksite tema määruste järgi ja peaksite tema käske nagu täna!'

⁶¹“Let your heart therefore be perfect with Yahweh our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.”

⁶²Siis ohverdas kuningas ja kogu Iisrael koos temaga Issanda ees tapaohvreid.

⁶²The king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before Yahweh.

⁶³Saalomon ohverdas tänuohvriks, mida ta Issandale ohverdas, kakskümmend kaks tuhat veist ning sada kakskümmend tuhat lammast ja kitse. Nõnda pühitsesid kuningas ja kõik Iisraeli lapsed Issanda koja.

⁶³Solomon offered for the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered to Yahweh, two and twenty thousand head of cattle, and one hundred twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of Yahweh.

⁶⁴Selsamal päeval pühitses kuningas Issanda koja ees oleva õue keskpaiga, sest ta ohverdas seal põletusohvri ja roaohvri ning tänuohvri rasvu, kuna vaskaltar Issanda ees oli liiga väike, et mahutada põletus- ja roaohvrit ning tänuohvri rasvu.

⁶⁴The same day the king made the middle of the court holy that was before the house of Yahweh; for there he offered the burnt offering, and the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar that was before Yahweh was too little to receive the burnt offering, and the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings.

⁶⁵Nõnda pidas Saalomon sel ajal Issanda, meie Jumala ees püha, ja kogu Iisrael koos temaga - üks suur kogudus Hamati teelahkmest kuni Egiptuseojani - seitse päeva ja seitse päeva, see on neliteist päeva.

⁶⁵So Solomon held the feast at that time, and all Israel with him, a great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt, before Yahweh our God, seven days and seven days, even fourteen days.

⁶⁶Kaheksandal päeval saatis ta rahva ära; nad õnnistasid kuningat ja läksid oma telkide juurde rõõmsatena ja heas meeleolus selle hea pärast, mida Issand oli teinud oma sulasele Taavetile ja oma Iisraeli rahvale.

⁶⁶On the eighth day he sent the people away; and they blessed the king, and went to their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that Yahweh had shown to David his servant, and to Israel his people.
